Water Treatment Plant Automation, SCADA & Control Engineering
From PLC cabinet design and SCADA development to full plant commissioning and remote monitoring — CM Aquatechnik delivers complete automation solutions for water and wastewater treatment plants of any scale.
Smarter Plants, Lower Operating Costs
Manual operation of water treatment plants leads to inconsistent water quality, high chemical consumption, energy waste, and dependence on skilled operators being physically present at all times. Automation changes this fundamentally.
A well-designed PLC/SCADA system continuously monitors process parameters, automatically adjusts dosing rates, sequences equipment, raises alarms, and logs every event — delivering consistent output quality at the lowest possible operational cost, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Complete Automation & Control Engineering Services
We handle every element of your plant automation project — from electrical design and panel manufacture through to SCADA programming, site installation, and operator training.
PLC Programming & Engineering
Custom PLC software development using Siemens TIA Portal (S7-1200, S7-1500), Siemens S7-300/400, Allen-Bradley Studio 5000, and Schneider Unity Pro. We write structured, well-documented code in Ladder (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and Structured Text (ST) — with full source code ownership transferred to the client.
SCADA System Design & Development
Intuitive, operator-friendly SCADA visualisations built on Wonderware, Ignition, WinCC, and FactoryTalk platforms. Features include real-time P&ID mimic displays, alarm management with ISA-18.2 compliance, trend logging, production reports, and multi-user access control. Web-based SCADA options available for remote access.
HMI Panel Design & Programming
Local operator panels using Siemens COMFORT, BASIC, and KTP series HMIs, as well as Allen-Bradley PanelView and Weintek displays. Clear, logical screen layouts with process graphics, alarm acknowledgement, and manual override capability — designed to minimise training time for operators.
Instrumentation & Field Devices
Selection, procurement, calibration, and loop testing of all field instruments: electromagnetic and ultrasonic flow meters, pressure and differential pressure transmitters, level sensors (ultrasonic, radar, hydrostatic), pH/ORP, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, and free chlorine analysers from Endress+Hauser, Hach, WTW, and Prominent.
MCC & Electrical Panel Engineering
Design and manufacture of motor control centres (MCC), main distribution boards (MDB), remote I/O panels, and VFD enclosures. Designed to IEC 61439 standards with full cable schedules, I/O lists, loop diagrams, and as-built drawings. All panels factory-tested before site delivery.
Remote Monitoring & IoT Platform
Cloud-based remote monitoring platforms delivering real-time plant data, alarm notifications (SMS, email, push), KPI dashboards, and historical trend analysis accessible from any device. Ideal for multi-site operators who need a single view across all their treatment plants. Integration with existing CMMS systems available.
Commissioning, Testing & Operator Training
Factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), loop checking, process simulation, and full I/O verification before live commissioning. We provide structured operator training programmes covering daily operation, maintenance procedures, alarm response, and emergency shutdown — with custom operations manuals in your required language.
Automation Upgrades & Retrofits
Have an ageing control system or obsolete PLCs? We carry out control system migrations from end-of-life platforms (Siemens S5, legacy ABB, old Allen-Bradley) to modern TIA Portal or ControlLogix systems — with minimum downtime and full backward compatibility of process logic.
